About the Song
Howdy, folks! Gather ’round for a listen to a true country gospel classic, “The Big Man Above” by the one and only Conway Twitty. Now, Conway was a legend – a smooth baritone voice that could belt out a heartache ballad or a foot-stompin’ honky-tonk tune with the best of them. But he also had a deep well of faith, and every now and then, he’d dip into that well and deliver a gospel song that would make your soul sit up and take notice.
This is one of those songs. Released back in 1973, “The Big Man Above” is a simple yet powerful testament to the belief in a higher power. It’s not fancy or preachy, mind you. It’s just a down-home country boy talkin’ about what gets him through life’s ups and downs – his faith in the Big Man Above. Back in the day, folks relied a lot on their faith. Life on the farm, the long days, the uncertainties of the weather – it all could get you down. But songs like this, with their simple message of hope and trust, were a balm for the weary soul.
So, whether you’re a longtime fan of Conway Twitty or just discovering the beauty of classic country gospel, “The Big Man Above” is a song worth giving a listen. Settle back, close your eyes, and let Conway’s voice wash over you, reminding you that there’s always a Big Man Above looking out for us all.
